Monica J. Hubal studies how exercise affects the body at the molecular level, focusing on skeletal muscle. Her work examines how muscle responds to resistance and aerobic training, including changes in gene activity, small signaling molecules (such as microRNAs carried in extracellular vesicles), and their links to insulin sensitivity and metabolic health. She also investigates how factors like sex, menstrual cycle phase, and genetics shape these responses.
